Job description

I'm working with a specialist Aerospace Technology business developing state-of-the-art technology across advanced flight systems, autonomous platforms and next-generation aerospace hardware.

We're looking for a highly experienced Electrical Engineer IV+ with genuine rocket, missile or advanced flight systems experience.

This isn't someone who's only worked on one small part of a wider system. We're particularly interested in engineers with broader electrical experience across complete flight systems.

Key experience:

• Rocket / missile / advanced flight systems
• Flight and mission computing
• Thermal batteries and power systems
• Safety-critical systems and energetics
• Embedded electronics and flight hardware
• MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810 and/or DO-160

This can be a highly technical individual contributor position, and for a particularly strong fit, remote working can be considered.

The wider team is based in Torrance, California, so candidates who can work onsite or hybrid are absolutely of interest too.

If you've spent your career developing complex electrical hardware for rockets, missiles or advanced flight platforms and want to work much closer to the complete system, I'd be keen to speak.
